Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The AR Blue Clean BC111HS

Design & Handling
With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D13 x W12 x H24 in, the AR Blue Clean BC111HS makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the BC111HS convenience of transport.
Because the device weighs just 14.6 lbs, carrying it around is very easy. Its plastic frame certainly plays a key role in this light weight. Because the BC111HS is so lightweight, it doesn’t utilize wheels.
